A Method of Focusing a Radar Antenna.

Abstract

The patent application describes a microwave system pivotably mounted in front of a reflective surface for focusing radio frequency in the near field region. Focusing is effected by the application of force to the end sections of the feed to provide a circular arc, the radius of which approximately equals the focal length of the antenna.
